The Israelite Kings

And Baasha [a]lay down with his fathers and was buried in (A)Tirzah, and his son Elah became king in his place. Moreover, the word of the Lord through (B)the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came against Baasha and his household, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of the Lord, provoking Him to anger with (C)the work of his hands, by being like the house of Jeroboam, and because (D)he struck [b]it.

In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha became king over Israel at Tirzah, and reigned for two years.
